Statistics Canada 2026 Census questionnaires are now passed their due dates for submission, and one worker is particularly agitated by those who did not complete them.
In a suburban area in Alberta, the exact location unknown, a census worker representing Statistics Canada inquired why one homeowner did not complete the legally required survey.
IIn the 2002 sci-fi film Equilibrium, agents of the state hunt down ‘sense offenders,’ dissidents who refuse government-mandated drugs designed to eliminate all human feeling. In the setting’s city-state of Libria, when a citizen is murdered, the deep state dispatches undercover officers to lay flowers at the scene in a bid to create a funereal atmosphere and muffle any temptation to anger.
As atrocities become commonplace, the government writes and issues false statements in the name of the victim’s families in a bid to effect behavioural change on its long-suffering populace. They seek to play down, or even deny, the most heinous crimes, because in Libria “there is no crime.”
OTTAWA — Canadian auto industry leaders panned Industry Minister Melanie Joly’s claim Monday that Chinese carmakers are interested in forming joint ventures to make electric vehicles with Canadian labour, parts and standards, and said Ottawa’s China push threatens Canada’s chances at getting a deal at the trade table with the United States.
As the July 1 deadline for renewal of the deal looms, and Ottawa is in the midst of a delicate dance with the Trump administration over how closely it is aligning with China, a trip in the past week by Joly to China accompanied by several mining, investment and business executives, but no Canadian carmakers, was seen as cause for concern.
Carney has to know what Joly is up to.
We were running late to check out of our hotel because my two young girls had demanded to use the pool one last time. I indulged them. The squeals of laughter were worth it. Afterward, we hustled to pack, race out the room and at 11:40 a.m. the lift doors opened in the lobby of the Hilton in Côte-des-Neiges district of Montreal.
Our path was blocked by staff. There was, one hotel worker informed us, a shooter. I sent my wife and children back up to our room and, with the dubious conviction of a professional journalist, went to investigate.
Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, says it has stepped up operations to combat possible Iranian state-directed activity here, warning that threats from Tehran’s theocratic regime are expected to continue this year.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service declined to provide details of its operations Monday. It said it was increasing activities focused on violent extremism in Canada.
SpaceX’s IPO was predictably a success, making Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. He reiterated his goal of traveling to Mars and settling there.
There have been many instances in the past of an idea which, due to arrogance or optimism, seemed really good on paper but upon execution turned out to be catastrophic, from Napoleon invading Russia, to dumping auto tires in the ocean for the purpose of creating an artificial reef, to creating humanoid robots, to creating welfare, to creating artificial intelligence, to gain of function research, to forming a Children’s Crusade, to doing business in China, to buying stocks on margin, to NYC rent control, or putting tons of orange peels in forests.
The dummies at the view got a brutal fact check after they tried claiming a “jury of one’s peers” means the same color as you 🤡

Donald Trump must enjoy what has now become diplomatic protocol for dealing with him on the world stage — namely, flattery and deference.
Mark Carney caught on to it early, calling Trump a “transformational president” during his first White House sit-down with him more than a year ago.
Others practise it too, from King Charles hosting a state visit for Trump to France’s Emmanuel Macron treating him to a state dinner at the Palace of Versailles after the G7 meetings wrapped up in that country last week.
“Generational”? Perhaps, but not in the way the Wall Street Journal means, or at least not entirely.
The WSJ correctly captures the ideological clash taking place in the Democrat Party and its scope. The framing around age is understandable too, given the shocking and embarrassing reveal of the massive cover-up around Joe Biden’s senility in office. However, that framing doesn’t necessarily hold up to scrutiny, considering the originating sources of the conflict…
Canada’s purchase of 12 new submarines will be one of the biggest defence procurements in the country’s history, inciting a fierce competition between bidders. In a brazen attempt to woo the federal government, the two finalists have each promised tens of billions of dollars in economic benefits.
It’s a decision with extensive implications for Canadian industry, government, the Royal Canadian Navy and the country’s strategic alliances. Each of the two bidders, Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean, have a comparable diesel-electric submarine on offer, and their unique capabilities will play a large role in Ottawa’s decision.
Hardly has the ink on the 14-point Memorandum of Understanding that US President Donald J. Trump signed with Tehran had a chance to dry than it has become abundantly clear that Iran has no serious intention of abiding by the agreement’s demands — namely abandoning its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons and re-establishing freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
A trustee at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is quitting the organization’s board over an upcoming exhibit about the late 1940s displacement of Palestinians, saying its lack of vital historical context will stir up hostility against Jewish people.
Mark Berlin submitted his resignation on Monday in a letter addressed to Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, and Benjie Nycum, the museum’s board chair. He has served as trustee since 2018.
The New York Times marked Father’s Day with a guest essay thumbing its nose at traditional families with a trans twist — “What I Learned About Parenting as a Trans Dad.” Yes, a Father’s Day essay from a “father” who is actually a woman.
Mohamad Fakih, the owner of Paramount Fine Foods, is alleging the City of Mississauga defamed him by publicly claiming his company owes more than $1 million in connection with the naming rights of that city’s largest sports and entertainment venue.
The municipality announced in late May that it would be renaming Paramount Fine Foods Centre to the Mississauga Sports and Entertainment Centre at the beginning of June, following the termination of its contract with Paramount.
In an open letter dated May 26, Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish said the city had been “forced” to end their agreement, alleging the food company owes the city $1.6 million.
